CRKD Nitro Deck Handheld Controller

Playing Switch in handheld mode is a huge part of its appeal–but for some, the included Joy-Con controllers aren’t ideal for long play sessions. Because of this, the market has been flooded with third-party alternatives. Hori often steals the spotlight with its Split Pad Pro and Split Pad Compact, but the lesser-known and newly released Nitro Deck is an intriguing alternative. Right now at Amazon, you can grab a CRKD Nitro Deck for a nice discount.

The Nitro Deck acts as a cradle for your Switch. Compatible with both the standard Switch and Switch OLED Model, the screen slips into the U-shaped controller to give you controls on both sides of the display while also connecting to the USB-C port. This allows it to offer lightning-fast response times, as you don’t have to rely on a wireless connection.
Toss in a kickstand, Hall Effect thumbsticks designed to eliminate stick drift, and mappable back buttons, and it’s to see the appeal of the new Nitro Deck. You’ll even be able to use a companion smartphone app to further customize its performance.
